Patent attributes
A system that may include a first mechanical stage, a second mechanical stage, charged particle beam optics and a controller. The system may charge, with a charged particle beam, a slice of the object. During the charging of the slice the first mechanical stage may introduce a first movement along a first direction, between the object and charged particle beam optics. The charged particle beam optics may scan the slice with the charged particle beam. The scanning of the slice includes performing, by the charged particle optics, a first counter-movement deflection of the charged particle beam to at least partially counter the first movement. The second mechanical stage is configured to introduce a second movement along a second direction, between the object and the charged particle beam optics. Upon a completion of the charging of the slice, the second mechanical stage is configured to perform a first flyback operation.
